AMERICAN FOUNDATIONS FOR SOCIAL WELFARE: A SELECTED 

BIBLIOGRAPHY 

In response to frequent requests for information relative to American foundations for social welfare, a tentative 
bibliography was prepared and published in June 1915. Since that time many new foundations have come into 
existence necessitating the inclusion of new data and the revision of the various sections of the earlier bibliography 
by officers of the several foundations. Any additional data or suggestions which might increase the usefulness of 
this list will be received gladly, and incorporated in later editions. 

In this bibliography are listed only those official publications which are indicative of the work of the various 
foundations. Periodical literature, except by donors or officers of the foundations, is not included, but may be 
found readily by reference to the various periodical indices. 


ALTMAN FOUNDATION 

The Altman Foundation was incorporated under the 
laws of New York State, April 1, 1913, “for the purpose 
of receiving and maintaining a fund or funds, adminis¬ 
tering the same, and applying the principal and income 
thereof, and either of them, to promote the social, physi¬ 
cal or economic welfare and efficiency of the employees 
of B. Altman & Co., a New York corporation, and to the 
use and benefit of charitable, benevolent or educational 
institutions within the State of New York, by such 
agencies and means as from time to time shall be found 
appropriate therefor.”

JUDGE BAKER FOUNDATION 

After Harvey Humphrey Baker, the first Judge of 
the Boston Juvenile Court, had died, and Frederick P. 
Cabot had been appointed his successor, it was sug¬ 
gested that the thing most necessary for the future well- 
being of the Court was to have a department which 
would present to Judge Cabot all the facts in relation to 
the physical, mental and social condition of the children 
who were brought before him. When it was found pos¬ 
sible to induce Dr. William Healy and Dr. Augusta F. 
Bronner to come to Boston, steps were taken to organize 
the Judge Baker Foundation, and pledges were obtained 
to carry out the experiment over a series of years. 

The Judge Baker Foundation was incorporated under 
the laws of Massachusetts on April 26th, 1917, “for the 
purpose of promoting the better understanding of juve¬ 
nile delinquents which admit of desirable development 
and the ways and means by which to develop them, 
establishing and maintaining a clinic, medical, psycho¬ 
logical, or other kind, which shall study, examine and 
make diagnoses, prognoses, and reports on juvenile de¬ 
linquents; conducting such activities as shall advance 
general and special knowledge of the causes of delin¬ 
quency and of the care and treatment of delinquents; 
and generally carrying on civic and educational pur¬ 
poses and thereby establishing and maintaining a living 
memorial to Harvey Humphrey Baker, first Justice of 
the Boston Juvenile Court.”

BREZ FOUNDATION 

The Brez Foundation was incorporated under the 
laws of the State of New York in 1917. Its purpose is to 
distribute in the City of New York and vicinity the in¬ 
come of its principal for charitable work including hos¬ 
pitals, orphan asylums, relief associations, homes for the 
helpless and other charitable institutions as donations 
which are decided upon and voted for by the board of 
directors. The Brez Foundation is self-sustaining and 
does not solicit any contributions. 

President and Treasurer, Jules Racine, 37-39 Maiden 
Lane, New York City. 


WINIFRED MASTERSON BURKE 
RELIEF FOUNDATION 

The Burke Foundation, incorporated in 1902, was 
established by John M. Burke through his gifts made 
during his lifetime and the legacy derived through his 
will. The amount of the fund is not stated. The Deed 
of trust expresses the wishes of the founder as to its 
chief activities—“that the benefits of the Foundation 
should be reserved for intelligent and respectable men 
and women who, in consequence of sickness, before they 
have regained sufficient strength to earn their liveli¬ 
hood, may be in need of temporary assistance.” In the 
fulfillment of these wishes the Foundation has erected 
and maintains a convalescent home at White Plains, 
New York. This has been operated to some extent since 
April 1915. Other assistance to convalescents has been 
and is being rendered elsewhere along similar lines.

Carnegie Corporation of New York 

Carnegie Corporation of New York was incorporated 
under the laws of New York, 1911. Mr. Carnegie trans¬ 
ferred to it $25,000,000 and later added $100,01)0,000 to 
the original gift. It was organized, as stated in the 
Charter, “for the purpose of receiving and maintaining 
n a fund or funds and applying the income thereof to pro¬ 
mote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and 
understanding among the people of the United States 
by aiding technical schools, institutions of higher learn¬ 
ing, libraries, scientific research, hero funds, useful pub¬ 
lications, and by such other agencies and means as shall 
from time to time be found appropriate therefor.” 

The work carried on by Mr. Carnegie as an individual 
for many years in founding and aiding educational insti¬ 
tutions and in the making of grants for educational pur¬ 
poses was turned over to the Corporation.

Carnegie Foundation for the Advance¬

This Foundation was incorporated March 10, 1906, 
with an initial endowment of $10,000,000 to which Mr. 
Carnegie added $5,000,000 in 1908. Its primary pur¬ 
pose is the establishment of retiring allowances for 
teachers in the colleges, universities and technical 
schools of the United States, the Dominion of Canada 
and Newfoundland. In 1913 Mr. Carnegie established 
a Division of Educational Enquiry, for which he gave 
$1,250,000. The function of this Division he specified 
to be “to conduct studies and to make investigations 
concerning universities, colleges, professional schools, 
and systems of education generally, to investigate prob¬ 
lems of education affecting the improvement of educa¬ 
tional methods, the advancement of teaching, or better¬ 
ment of educational standards, and in general to investi¬ 
gate and to report upon those educational agencies 
which undertake to deal with the intellectual, social, 
and moral progress of mankind, and to publish such re¬ 
sults as the trustees may consider of value.”

Carnegie Relief Fund, Pittsburgh 

On the 12th of March, 1901, Mr. Carnegie set aside 
$4,000,000 to insure to the employees of the Carnegie 
companies some certain compensation in case of death, 
injury, old age, or incapacity, coming to them in the 
course of their employment. 

This fund was merged on January 1, 1911, with a 
pension fund established by the United States Steel Cor¬ 
poration, the joint fund bearing the title “United States 
Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund,” the Steel Corpora¬ 
tion providing an additional $8,000,000, and making the 
total fund $12,000,000. The Carnegie Relief Fund there¬ 
upon virtually ceased to exist.

COMMONWEALTH FUND 

The Commonwealth Fund was formed under the 
Membership Corporations law of the State of New 
York, the Certificate of Incorporation being approved 
on October 17th, 1918. Its objects are “ the application 
to charitable purposes of the income or the principal of 
such property as from time to time the Corporation shall 
possess; including the giving of income or of principal 
to any other charitable corporation or corporations, and 
the application of the income or the principal of any 
property acquired by bequest, devise or gift to such 
charitable purposes as the testator or donor shall have 
prescribed by will or instrument of gift.” 

The organization of the Commonwealth Fund had its 
inception in the offer of a considerable gift from Mrs. 
Stephen V. Harkness. In her letter to the Directors 
Mrs. Harkness said: “It is not my desire to impose 
restrictions upon its use other than the limitations of 
your corporate power, and I hope therefore that you 
will feel free to use any of the gift for such benevolent, 
religious, educational and like purposes of an eleemosy¬ 
nary character as shall be within the charitable pur¬ 
poses of your corporate power; and to that end you 
are free, in the exercise of your sound discretion, to use 
the principal as well as the income.”

BARON DE HIRSCH FUND 

The Baron de Hirsch Fund was organized March 13, 
1890, and was incorporated February 12, 1891, under 
the New York Membership Corporations law. The en¬ 
dowment fund, given by the Baron and Baroness de 
Hirsch, amounts now to about $3,800,000, to be used 
for the aid of resident Jewish immigrants. Its activities 
are (1) promotion of agricultural instruction through 
subsidies to the National Jewish Farm School at Doyles- 
town, Pa., and the granting of scholarships to Jewish 
young men at the State Institute of Applied Agricul¬ 
ture at Farmingdale, Long Island, N. Y.; these are 
substitutes for the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural School, 
maintained by the Fund for many years at Woodbine, 
N. J.; (2) aid to agriculturalists by way of loans on real 
or chattel security through the Jewish Agricultural & 
Industrial Aid Society; (3) Baron de Hirsch Trade

latterly, concentrated more on trade and agricultural 
instruction and extensive aid to farmers, and given up 
some of its pioneer Americanization work and chari¬ 
table pecuniary aid, as local communities and the State 
and its agencies have taken over work formerly done 
by it.

ANNA T. JEANES FOUNDATION 

The Anna T. Jeanes Foundation was organized in 
February, 1908. The endowment was $1,000,000, given 
by Miss Jeanes for aiding Negro rural schools. The 
plans of the board are: (1) to co-operate with the regular 
public school authorities in the employment of county 
supervising teachers; (2) to get the co-operation of the 
people themselves; and (3) to improve the effectiveness 
of the school and widen its neighborhood influence by in¬ 
troducing industrial features.

NEW YORK FOUNDATION 

The New York Foundation was incorporated in 1909 
and was endowed by Alfred M. Heinsheimer who gave 
$1,000,000. Its objects, for which the income may be 
expended, are “to receive and maintain a fund or funds 
and to apply the income thereof to altruistic purposes, 
charitable, benevolent, educational or otherwise within 
the United States of America, as the Trustees may de¬ 
termine.” 

Secretary, William F. Fuerst, 87 Nassau Street, New 
York City. 

PEABODY EDUCATION FUND 

Mr. George Peabody created this trust in 1867 by 
two gifts, together amounting to $3,000,000, the income 
to be applied “for the promotion and encouragement of 
intellectual, moral, or industrial education among the 
young of the more destitute portion of the Southern and 
Southwestern states of our union.” 

The three main lines of activity have been: (1) the 
establishment of city school systems; (2) the estab¬ 
lishment of state school systems; (3) the training of 
teachers. 

The Fund has now been dissolved. The final meet¬ 
ing was held May 20,1914, and the affairs of the Fund 
were settled on that date.

PHELPS-STOKES FUND 

The Phelps-Stokes Fund was incorporated under the 
laws of New York, 1911. The amount of the Fund is 
about $1,000,000, bequeathed by Miss Caroline Phelps 
Stokes, the interest and net income to be used for 
various philanthropic purposes. The specific objects 
for which the Trustees were incorporated were as fol¬ 
lows: "the erection and improvement of tenement 
house dwellings in the acquisition of the capital stock 
or obligation of any other corporation organized for that 
purpose; and for the education of Negroes, both in 
Africa and the United States, North American Indians 
and needy and deserving white students, through indus¬ 
trial schools, the founding of scholarships, and the erec¬ 
tion or endowment of school buildings or chapels. It 
shall be within the purpose of said corporation to use 
any means to such ends which shall from time to time 
seem expedient to its members or trustees including re¬ 
search, publication, the establishment and maintenance 
of charitable or benevolent activities, agencies, and in¬ 
stitutions, and the aid of any such activities, agencies or 
institutions already established.” 

The Board’s main activities to date have been: (1) 
the study of Negro school and college conditions in the 
South which was published by the United States Bureau 
of Education as Bulletins 38 and 39 of the year 1916, 
(2) the establishment of fellowships for the study of the 
Negro at the University of Virginia and the University 
of Georgia; (3) the establishment of a travelling founda¬ 
tion at Peabody Teachers’ College for special study of 
the educational needs of the Negro race; (4) the aid of 
various schools, colleges, and movements in the interest 
of the Negro and of better race relations in this country; 
(5) an educational survey in co-operation with various 
missionary boards on the West Coast and Equatorial 
Africa. This survey was begun in the summer of 1920 
and will be finished in the fall of 1921.

Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial 

Statement by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., published on 
Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1920. 

“For years prior to her death in 1915, my Mother 
was interested in the support of many religious and 
charitable enterprises. Since her death it has been the 
desire of iny Father that in so far as might seem wise 
those and kindred objects in which my Mother had 
manifested an intimate interest should continue to re¬ 
ceive support. To make this possible, in living memory 
of my Mother, my Father established a charitable cor¬ 
poration known as The Laura Spelman Rockefeller 
Memorial. 

The original and present directors of the Memorial 
are Messrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Charles E. Hughes, 
George Welwood Murray, Starr J. Murphy, and Willard 
S. Richardson. 

As stated in the certificate of incorporation, “the par¬ 
ticular objects for which the Corporation is formed are 
the application to charitable purposes of the income, 
and, if the Corporation so decides, of the principal of 
such property as the Corporation may from time to 
time possess.” 

It is also stipulated in the articles of incorporation 
that “No officer, member, or employe of this Corpora- 






tion shall receive or be lawfully entitled to receive any 
pecuniary profit frorn the operation thereof, except rea¬ 
sonable compensation for services in effecting one or 
more of its purposes or as a proper beneficiary of its 
strictly charitable purposes.” 

The Memorial has no connection with the Rockefeller 
Foundation or any other of the Benevolent Boards or 
Institutions established by my Father. 

The Trustees have full and unrestricted discretion in 
the use of the funds, while as yet no definite policies 
have been worked out, in keeping with the general 
spirit of my Mother’s interest in charitable work, it is 
in the mind of the Founder as well as of the Board that 
special consideration should be given to activities look¬ 
ing toward the improvement of the condition of women 
and children. 

The Rockefeller Foundation, though established ‘‘to 
promote the wellbeing of mankind throughout the 
world, ” is finding its chief opportunity for service in the 
promotion of public health. The General Education 
Board is emphasizing the work of assisting colleges to 
increase their endowments, especially during the past 
year in aiding them to provide increased salaries for 
teachers and of assisting the development of medical 
education. The Rockefeller Institute devotes itself ex¬ 
clusively to medical research. Thus The Laura Spel- 
man Rockefeller Memorial, should it lay stress upon 
the promotion of the welfare of women and children, 
would there find a distinctive field of usefulness. 

As was the case with the other Foundations started 
by my Father, the Memorial began with limited funds 
and a simple organization, of which several of my 
Father’s office staff were members. In the case of the 
other Foundations, as the work attained larger propor¬ 
tions a more formal organization with increased per¬ 
sonnel was established. The Trustees are planning to 
follow a similar course with The Laura Spelman Rocke¬ 
feller Memorial. 

Since the Memorial was established my Father has 
made it various gifts of securities of a total value of 
$63,763,357.37. Appropriations from these funds have 
amounted to $8,010,721.57.” 

President, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Secretary, Wil¬ 
lard S. Richardson, 26 Broadway, New York City. 

Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re¬ 
search 

The objects of the Institute, founded in 1901, are ‘‘to 
conduct, assist, and encourage investigations in the 
sciences and arts of hygiene, medicine and surgery, and 
allied subjects, in the nature and causes of disease and 
the methods of its prevention and treatment, and to 
make knowledge relating to these various subjects avail¬ 
able for the protection of the health of the public and the 
improved treatment of disease and injury.” The Insti¬ 
tute has been generously endowed by Mr. John D. 
Rockefeller by a series of gifts which have from time to 
time capitalized its growing needs. Its property is in 
charge of a Board of Trustees; a Board of Scientific 
Directors has control of its scientific work. The Insti¬ 
tute maintains a series of laboratories and a hospital at 
66th Street and Avenue A, New York City, and a De¬ 
partment of Animal Pathology near Princeton, New 
Jersey.

Rockefeller Foundation 

The Rockefeller Foundation was incorporated under 
the laws of New York, May 14, 1913. It was chartered 
“to promote the well-being of mankind throughout the 
world,” to provide an agency which shall deal with 
problems of human welfare in accordance with the 
principles and methods most approved in each genera¬ 
tion. The general fund of the Foundation is approxi¬ 
mately $170,000,000: both the income and principal of 
which are available for appropriation. 

The Foundation has devoted its attention and its 
funds for the most part to large comprehensive pro¬ 


grams whose aims are: (a) to eradicate certain causes 
of human ill and to build up positive programs for bet¬ 
tering conditions and (b) to make demonstrations in 
various fields and to inaugurate helpful work, responsi¬ 
bility for which may later be assumed by that portion of 
the public most intimately concerned. 

The Foundation has undertaken particularly work in 
public health, and in medical education. It carries on 
its principal activities through its departmental organi¬ 
zations: 

The International Health Board, Dr. Wickliffe Rose, 
general director; for the establishment of agencies for 
promotion of public sanitation and the spread of the 
knowledge of scientific medicine. It took over the work 
of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradica¬ 
tion of Hookworm, January 1, 1915. 

The China Medical Board, Dr. George E. Vincent, 
general director; for the development of medical educa¬ 
tion and hygiene in China. 

The Division of Medical Education, Dr. Richard M. 
Pearce, for the survey of conditions and the promotion 
of medical education outside the United States. 

The Rockefeller Foundation, the General Education 
Board and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re¬ 
search are controlled by their own boards of trustees and 
have their own funds.

RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION 

The Russell Sage Foundation was established in 1907 
by Mrs. Russell Sage in memory of her husband. It 
was incorporated by an act of the Legislature of New 
York in April, 1907. Mrs. Sage gave to the Foundation 
an endowment of $10,000,000. By her will she be¬ 
queathed it an additional sum of about $5,000,000. The 
income only may be spent. 

The purpose of the Foundation, as stated in its char¬ 
ter is “the improvement of social and living conditions 
in the United States of America.” The charter further 
says: “ It shall be within the purposes of said corpora¬ 
tion to use any means which from time to time shall 
seem expedient to its members or trustees, including re¬ 
search, publication, education, the establishment and 
maintenance of charitable and benevolent activities, 
agencies and institutions, and the aid of any such activ¬ 
ities, agencies or institutions already established.” It 
does not relieve individual need. 

The Foundation acts through a number of depart¬ 
ments of its own and through a few other agencies which 
are especially equipped to deal with certain evils, such as 
tuberculosis and bad housing. 

The departments of the Foundation are: Charity 
Organization Department, Department of Child-help¬ 
ing, Department of Education, Division of Industrial 
Studies, Library, Department of Recreation, Division 
of Remedial Loans, Division of Statistics, Department 
of Surveys and Exhibits.

JOHN F. SLATER FUND 

In 1882 this Fund was created by Mr. Slater’s gift 
of $1,000,000, the income of which was to be expended 
in the “uplifting of the lately emancipated population 
of the Southern states, and their posterity, by conferring 
on them the blessing of Christian education.” This 
fund is used largely in paying the salaries of teachers in 
schools which train young colored people in industrial 
pursuits and for the profession of teaching.

THOMAS THOMPSON TRUST 

This Trust, which became effective in 1901, was 
created under the will of Thomas Thompson who left 
over $1,000,000, the income to be put to benevolent 
uses in the towns of Brattleboro, Vermont, and Rhine- 
beck. New York. The desire of the founder was that 
this Fund should go “for or towards the relief and sup¬ 
port of poor seamstresses, needle women and shop 
girls, who may be in temporary need from want of em¬ 
ployment, sickness or misfortune.” If the whole income 
were not needed for this form of relief, the Trustees were 
to apply the surplus to kindred charitable purposes. 


About one-fourth of the income has been spent in 
direct relief, but the Trustees have devoted their main 
activities to the prevention rather than palliation of the 
kind of distress that the testator had found to exist. 
They have worked out a comprehensive system for the 
care of the sick in Brattleboro and have assisted the New 
York State charities aid association in a study of sick¬ 
ness in Dutchess county, New York, in which county 
Rhinebeck is located, with a view to working out the 
best system of care to be adopted in that county.

guard donations in trust under supervisions and regula¬ 
tions imposed by State legislation; to employ the
